Soft and buttery scones filled with fresh strawberries, a hint of lemon, and poppy seeds. These strawberry lemon poppy seed scones are perfect for a summer breakfast or served with tea.

Happy Sunday!

I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend filled with warm weather and sunny days.

I’m super excited for today because my sisters and I are going to the CUESA’s 25th Birthday Bash. CUESA is the organization behind the farmer’s market at the SF Ferry Building. And tonight, there’s going to be lots of restaurants and breweries catering the event with live music and even a silent auction. So I can’t wait to attend!

In the mean time, let’s talk about these strawberry lemon poppy seed scones.

Are you a fan of scones? Or do you prefer muffins? I think I love both in their own way. Muffins are great as breakfast, especially when you’re in a hurry to leave the house. You can grab a muffin as you’re walking out. Scones are soft and buttery and perfect with a cup of tea. It’s one of those treats that you need to sit down and enjoy. Which means it’s perfect for the weekends and small summer gatherings with your family and friends.

Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside for now.

This recipe looks wonderful, Andrea! And I love the technique of freezing the butter and then grating it in — I’ve never done it that way before but imagine it would help make the scones even fluffier. Thanks!
